Inspiration

I was taking a chatgpt wrapper class and was thinking about the common problems that I struggle with, and it was finding people who would share the same interests and vibes with me. So I built an application that analyzes the different parameters that the user provides via their user creation form and suggests them new friends

What it does

It is a simple "social media" platform that focuses on bringing the MVP for large language model augmented match evaluation algorithm. Basically after creating a user, the platform guides you to making different friends.

How I built it

I have set up an express server with some basic user authentication and API, and then used a vanilla html template for the website. I used the openai package to interact with chatgpt and ask it to evaluate how people would match.

Challenges I've ran into

I have ran into issues with mostly the html and css as the template I was using was old and had bad practices. Also express.js had ambiguous docs that I had to navigate through.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud with how clean the website looks and the MVP showing its value as a socializing platform. Additionally, the website has no frameworks.

What I've learned

I have learned how to integrate my fullstack knowledge with a chatgpt wrapper, and also code in vanilla html.

What's next for SociAI

To actually become a social media by adding posts, comments, and more user interaction opportunities. If I am aiming to be a particular platform, I would try to copy Tumblr, as I appreciate its content algorithm better than other platforms like X (Twitter) or Reddit.
